The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper f.,
the State and with few exceptions the old.
est in line country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated durjpg
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS Gifts existence. IN
lis columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni.
cling OF the history Of what is going on in thu
world has ever been lis aim. 1t is alvsv.
welcomed in the household, while il the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for Oh.
tanning news than any paper outside OF the
national capital. Situated as it is so closa
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
tho benefit Of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as we'll a.
from every part of the babtabie globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE a great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres
The local department furnishes full aud
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of theSlate, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monweaith are to be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily in
creasing, especially among people who con.
suit its advertising columns before purchas.
ing. That this is self-eyident may be infer.
red from the fact that large country ed.
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section OF country three tines
week, and is read by thousands, most Of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of adj.
veriising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
parent.

HnrdsOn CrOakers.

In interviews about town with busi-
ness men yesterday few croakers
were found who predicted a close
money market and consequently hard
times in the near future because there
was more money going into the treas
ury than was coming out. But when
informed that the President was pur-
chasing United States bonds by the
million, the last proposition being for
$4,000, 900, which at the premiums
paid would put over $15, 900, 900 in cir
culation, while the purchase of silver
bullion monthly of $1,000, 900, would
add so much to the circulation in sill
yer certificates and more than cover
the accumulation in the United States
treasury they subsidized, and said they
had never thought of these two ele-
ments. If any attempt should be
made to corner the money market the
President can purchase enough bonds
to break the corner at once SO there is
no danger of a money pressure, es-
pecially in South California, where
there is 80 much money constantly ar
irving and where cities and counties
and great railway corporations are
constantly going forward with build
ing improvements that scatter the
money abroad daily in generous guam
titles. There never was so prosper
GUS time in South California as
at present, and never such a spec
tacle of home-building exhibited in
the country as is now shown in South
California.
There is no room for croakers here.

MisdemcanOr the Charge.

Dan Smith, who was arrested on
Friday night last by Detective Afford
for forcing the woman Ida Wilson to
lead life of shame, was yesterday
charged with misdemeanor on the
prison register. The District Attorney
was of the opinion that a charge of
adultery would not hold, for the rea-
son that Smith is a single man. The
woman was discharged yesterday for
the reason that there was not sufficient
evidence against her to insure con-
viction. Besides, the police were not
desirous OF prosecuting her.
Last evening r. Wilson, husband Of
the unfortunate woman, arrived from
San Bernardino, where he has been
working in livery stable for the past
three weeks. He walked into the pO-
lice station beside his wife. He stated
that about a month ago he became
tired of his wife's reckless ways and
left her. Yesterday morning he was
dumb-founded when he heard of her
downfall, and he came up to help her.
He expressed it as his opinion that
Smith made his wife enter the life she
did against her will. According to
Wilson's $ story, his wife told him that
she loved Smith, and intended to stick
to him. Smith is held without bonds.

How Women Use the Telegraph.

A Hartford man, whose wife was
going abroad. asked her to telegraph
him word or two, letting him know
of her safe arrival in New York. In
a few hours he received the following
message: "Collect: Dear George
Arrived here safely, at 15 minutes
after 6. The train was due at 6, but
we were delayed Is minutes en- route.
Had a perfectly lovely trip. Don't
worry about me; I'll get along all
right. And take good care of your
self. Be so careful about taking cold
this damp weather. Remember that
you are to keep on your fannels until
the 18th of June. Be sure that. you
have the house opened and aired as
often as possible. Remember what l
said about your socks and shirts.
Don't forget to keep the basement
door locked. Write every day. Pm
sure to have lovely time. So good
in you to let me go. You must come
over after me in August. Forever
and ever and ever, yours, Mamie"
An hour later Mamie was panied to
receive the following reply to her
"word or two:' "Don't cable any
thing from Liverpool. Pm ruined
man if you do. George. lex.

beyond Park Station, and, it is stated,
that others are in contemplation as
soon as labor and material can be OBJ
tanned. A street railroad is being
constructed from Park Station to Rose
Grams. All of the ties have been dis
tributed as far as the latter place and
graders are now at work on the road
bed. 1t is expected that the cars will
be running before the rains commence.
A large force of brickmasons and car
penters are now at work on the hotel,
which is to be called "Rosecrans."
1t will be fine structure and has
been leased by Messrs. D'Artois &
Webb, who are at the front of the
improvements in this vicinity, to
gentleman from New York.
The contract for the laying of
water pipes has been let, and
very shortly every resident will have
all he can use. The future possibili-
ties of this part of the community are
great, and it will be to Los Angeles
what Oakland is to San Francisco or
Brooklyn to New York, or Evanston
and Hyde Park to Chicago.
